Colorado Avalanche.
Best Bet.
Game 35.
6:30 PM PST/9:30 PM EST.
I'm going to keep this breakdown very brief and throw away the bones and just give you the meat my friends lol. I know they're playing in Dallas for this series opener. The Stars will come into this round extremely tired. It took them seven games to defeat Vegas in the first-round matchup. That means the visitor has had five days, that's right, five extra days off to rest, heal, and prepare for this matchup. Not only that, but Colorado dispatched of Winnipeg in just five games. They really did have their way with them, taking the last four in the series. It wasn't the most physical series at that. I feel Dallas is going to come in here a little tired and a little underprepared. Please understand that rest is a big part of being successful come the NHL postseason. Oh, by the way, the Avalanche have also taken four of the last five meetings in this rivalry at the American Airlines Center. Thank you.
